Functions
Party at Mona
Planning a function? We’ve got lots of places for them—in the museum, around the museum, off-site in the city, on boats, you name it.
Moorilla Wine Bar
Wine and dine guests in the relaxed, elegant environs of our wine bar. You can stay inside, spill out onto the deck, peer into the inner workings of the winery (there are windows straight into the barrel room), or catch some rays on the nearby lawns.

The Source Restaurant
High above it all, the Source takes its name from a painting by Australian modernist John Olsen, which you can see on the foyer ceiling. There's a balcony—complete with living moss and herb tables—brilliant views of the River Derwent, and a lovely outlook over the museum grounds.

Faro Bar + Restaurant
A light-filled space suspended over the river, Faro is a bit of an antidote to the darker parts of the museum. Soaring ceilings, highly convenient cocktail bar, multiple works from American light artist James Turrell (including one smack-dab in the middle of the restaurant). Standard stuff.

The Void
Seventeen metres underground, the Void is a spiffy place to impress your mates. It’s home to a Triassic sandstone wall from the museum’s excavation, various artworks and one of the best cocktail bars in the state. We can host 250 of your nearest and dearest for a cocktail party.

The Nolan gallery
If the Void isn’t big enough, you can add the Nolan gallery. This space is named for Australian modernist master Sidney Nolan, creator of Snake, which is one of our most loved artworks. There’s other art here, too, from the likes of Jannis Kounellis, Anselm Kiefer and Gregory Barsamian (Wim Delvoye’s shit machine is just around the corner). Plenty of room to do stuff, too.

Functions on our ferry
We have two, very snazzy, camouflaged catamarans available for exclusive hire. Both vessels have bars, two levels, indoor and outdoor spaces, and animals to sit on – just not the cow please. Over the years, our crew have been host to countless private parties and corporate events – large and small. A fully catered cruise, or a straight forward transfer from A to B – our functions team can put together a package to suit the needs, and budget, of your group.

Manky Sally's
If the function-energy you’re after involves the words ‘luxury dive bar’, look no further. Tucked away on Salamanca Place on Hobart’s waterfront, Manky Sally’s can do everything from casual standup snacks and sipping (and a peek into the on-site nano-brewery) to a full-venue lock-in with a multi-course sit down meal.
